Bristlebane Day (EQ2 Live Event)

Special one-day events on April 1st, the Highest of Silly Days!

Jesters, thieves, bards and fans of mischief are invited to enjoy the festivities that surround Bristlebane Day! You never know what riddles, laughs and pranks are to be found during this time of year. Celebrators are present in every home city and the oddest of objects have been spotted in Antonica, The Commonlands, Darklight Wood, Timorous Deep, Greater Faydark and Frostfang Sea. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special events, especially in the Enchanted Lands, occurring only on the Highest of Silly Days!

They are visually marked by candy canes! A fuel merchant for the Frostfell specific fuels should also be found near the crafting stations, but no recipe books for other events will be available.

April Fools Pranks

A'Capella Load Song

On April 1, 2014, the load song was an amateur a'capella rendition of the original EQ load theme, presumably sung by developers. If you would like to keep the file, search for mx_exp_10_tov_game_intro.

Cute Mode

When you log in anytime on April 1, you will be in Cute Mode (All humanoid players and monsters will have ballooned heads) but despair not! If you just cannot stand it, use /cutemode to turn it off!

The Herald of Bristlebane

a Small Chest?

In the past, if you died on April 1st Gerald Gigglegibber, the Herald of Bristlebane, just might have shown up to help with your little problem... or not. The hope was that "Bristly Bane" loved us!

Special Chests

Treasure chests that drop on April 1st will have a special Bristlebane Day touch to their appearance!
